Once upon a time the sweet beard practicioners at sweetbeard.com were annoyed by a certain popular shaving website and created DollarBeardClub. Alas the marketing department which produced this gem of an advertisement won't be winning a CLIO any time soon. As such, we let the domain go, and couldn't be happier that we did, because lo, the interwebs sprang forth with this:

I'm not really certain what this "Star Wars" branding is all about, since clearly the only real Star Wars movies were made between 1977 and 1983. That is Mark Hamill however, as his son Nathan's traveling Lavabear proves.

Rumor has it that the beard was mandatory for the new film. George Lucas incontrovertably understood the benefit of a sweet beard, so why then did it take Disney to bring beards to the party? Furthermore, considering the multitude of unnecessary digital alterations made to the canonical feature films, why wasn't a beard added to all Jedi as a simple matter of course?

It's time to join Bristlr. You're here, so we know you like beards and the Internet. Good odds you also enjoy silly websites dedicated to beards that started as a joke. Almost eight short years ago somebody else did that very thing.

"Pish posh and scrumdoggerydoo," you say! "That's just another beard site which could take precious moments away from consuming and contributing quality SweetBeard content!" Nay. Just as many hairs join together in united coordinated effort to form a sweet beard, so too must many software developers called John join in beard-related frivolity. A wild North Atlantic may divide our servers, but together, the state of our beards remain strong.
